IN FALL OF 2020, DOWNTOWN JACKSON PARTNERS LAUNCHED THE EARTHPLANTER PILOT PROGRAM, REPLACING 12 OF THE STANDARD CONCRETE PLANTERS SCATTERED ACROSS THE DOWNTOWN DISTRICT WITH EARTHPLANTER SELF-WATERING CONTAINER SYSTEMS THAT REDUCE UP TO 80% WATER USAGE.
WITH THE INITIAL PILOT PROGRAM PROVING EXCELLENCE, DOWNTOWN JACKSON PARTNERS MOVED FORWARD WITH REPLACING ALL 50 STANDARD CONCRETE PLANTERS IN THE SPRING OF 2021. A REFRESHED LOOK AT PLANT CHOICES THAT FEATURE A THRILLER-FILLER-SPILLER DESIGN, FOR A MORE AESTHETICALLY-APPEALING APPROACH, TOPPED OFF THE CONTAINER UPGRADE.
MADE RIGHT HERE IN THE USA, EARTHPLANTER SELF-WATERING CONTAINERS PRODUCE SUPERIOR PLANT GROWTH WITH A CONTINUOUS SUPPLY OF WATER WHILE REDUCING LABOR COSTS, FUEL AND WATER USAGE. THIS TRANSITION WILL ALLOW THE DOWNTOWN AMBASSADORS TO FOCUS MORE ATTENTION ON ADDITIONAL PROJECTS AND BETTER USAGE OF THEIR TIME, WHILE HELPING OUR ENVIRONMENT THROUGH THE MANY BENEFITS OF WATER CONSERVATION AND THE ENHANCEMENT OF BEAUTIFUL GREENERY AND COLOR TO OUR URBAN LANDSCAPE.
ALSO THIS YEAR, DOWNTOWN JACKSON PARTNERS IMPLEMENTED THE ADOPT.A.POT. PLANTER SPONSORSHIP PROGRAM, PROVIDING AN OPPORTUNITY FOR BUSINESSES, FAMILIES, AND INDIVIDUALS TO TAKE PROUD OWNERSHIP IN HELPING TO GREEN UP THE DOWNTOWN DISTRICT. SPONSORS ARE NOT RESPONSIBLE FOR MAINTENANCE OR UPKEEP OF THE CONTAINER. SPONSORS WILL RECEIVE A CUSTOMIZED PLAQUE SHOWCASING THEIR NAME OR COMPANY NAME IN EACH CONTAINER THAT IS SPONSORED.
